SENIOR FOOTBALL The seniors had good craic down at the Kilmacud Sevens. They got off to a flyer with victory over Senschalstown, but a narrow loss against Emo and defeat to ultimate semi-finalists Kilcoo ended their involvement. It's back to a diet of league action this Saturday when Father Tierney Park hosts the senior clash of Aodh Ruadh and Termon at 5.45pm. That match is preceded by the reserve game at 4.15pm. GOOD LUCK A busy weekend coming up for club chairman Terence McShea. On Saturday he will be down in Malahide refereeing at the Ladies sevens, then on Sunday he will don the white coat to umpire at the intermediate Ladies final between Clare and Tipperary. Best wishes to Terence from everyone in the club.
